Mods : This may be in the wrong place as I have yet to figure out how to get to the break room.
I have been told at my school and facility that we are now required to give a trigger warning before we speak an opinion that may offend the sensibilities of another. Something on the lines of "I have to warn you that I am about to say something that may trigger a strong negative emotion in you!" This gives members of the intended audience the opportunity to recuse themselves from the conversation to avoid being triggered or otherwise negatively effected by what I am about to say!
IMHO political correctness is simply suppression of constitutionally protected free speech which is a basic human right in this country (USA). I am wondering how many others on this forum find this trend ridiculous. I am purposely not going into specific details or issues with this - just wondering how many of my fellows feel about this.
I actually had a new nurse ask me yesterday if my facility had a designated safe space!
these young people - LOL.....
Showing my age here & sometimes out of touch with things - I would have responded "for a tornado or bad weather? Oh that is in the med room - we would try to cram as many of the patients as we could in there"
